Thanksgiving

What a great Thanksgiving holiday we all had...again!

I have an empty house right now as well as refrigerator as Sheri left yesterday, Morgan and Tyler fly back from the tri-cities tonight as well as Charley from San Diego. I love that years ago we moved our dinner to the day before and that we don't have to share the day due to other obligations with in-lawsor other family gatherings. What a smart alteration!

So family, again thanks for welcoming our additional guests this year as they seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, participating in the amazing food and for everyone staying overnight at my home for a couple of days. I love all rooms filled!

Once again we will do this all over again, but a different menu in a few weeks!!!

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Big thank you to Mom....I still give you credit for giving me the special snow fall we are having.

Hugs always for every flake! You're the best and know what makes my heart sing!

Love, Lori

Hodge Podge

You know what one of the best things is....enjoying someones company completely.

I had the most amazing four days with my sister. We all have these trips and are with each other one on one and they are 99% of the time wonderful. I always marvel at the end of a day with one of my girls or my sister and how much I truly enjoy it and why??? Its always fabulous!

I have as a tradition, just for my self, start listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. Many of you, okay, all of you can't stand this, but it's mine! I do not change the music station until after Christmas Day. Well, I guess others start listening before I do because they have already started playing the tunes I adore! But, even I will stick to my rule of not until Thanksgiving to belt out Oh Holy Night.

Planning our Thanksgiving feast and all the company that will be with us this year, makes me smile! I love, love, love having my house full. Thank goodness I have four bedroom and will fill every one of them! and this year I guess I will need extra beds...what joy for me!

Medical update: My foot. As some of you know, I was breaking in a new pair of shoes for work this summer and kept wearing them and wearing them. They are the same brand, same design, same color everything that I've used the past 10years...Franko Sarto Bocca so I didn't give up stretching the leather. Bad idea. I still have pain in my right foot from the summer. The real kicker was last month in New Orleans and I was really uncomfortable walking the distances that Charley and I do on our trips. Hence, the purchase of really ugly NB shoes just to get by.

I went to the doctor this week and apparently I did some nerve damage and have to go to a specialist to have an "injection" in the top of my foot to let the nerves heal correctly etc. Hopefully, I won't shout out my sisters famous words when she had her shot! All in the name of cute shoes.

Okay, I'm done!
